The style worked brilliantly for this Diana and i resonate so much with your words and agree - by allowing it to happen we enable them in a way - i have been in those shoes for sure. TY for sharing something so deeply personal
This is a literature-level masterpiece. I love every bit of it. ❤️
When I was younger, I also shrank in a few relationships. I am still shrinking in one way but expanding in another. My husband feels the same. I guess that there's just so much space there; we just need to find a good equilibrium for the two parties in a relationship.
So much of the fragmented piece made me think of some of my previous relationships. This piece made me think of how I changed myself to fit the mold the person expected of me, only to find out after weeks/months/years that I don't want to be in the mold again. Yes, I definitely allowed it to happen, allowed love to shrink me...
We can give so much of ourselves, sometimes too much, in the hope of making things work or pleasing the other person... Thank you for opening up about your experiences, Marie! Hugs.
One of the best awakenings I've read, dear Diana. Such a profound observation of that past dysfunctional relationship and what it meant for you and your healing. We're all just here for the lessons and the wisdom. I love this style! Brilliant, Diana 💜

"Enabling them" is exactly it. It's a tough lesson to learn. Thanks for reading and for your kind words! 💜

Great job.
Thank you so much!
Knowing yourself is a great essence, among this writing. I like this writing.
Thank you for your kind words!
Perfect description of the airlessness in a relationship.
And it's funny (sad) how you don't notice the red flags until you pass by them.
Like taillights in a mirror.
I feel this story. Thank you for sharing. 💛
Means a lot to me that you "feel this story."Thank you for taking the time to read it and for sharing your thoughts, Steve!
